1.
As Easter
Day was approaching, Saint Brigit wanted to give a banquet for all the churches
which were near her in the surrounding towns of Mide.
2.
However,
she had not the wherewithal for a banquet except for a single vat of beer, for
there was a shortage of provisions in those parts at the time.
3.
Now she
put the beer from the vat into two basins, for she had no other vessels.
4.
And the
beer was divided up and taken by Brigit to the eighteen surrounding churches
and there was enough for them all for Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday and the
week up to the end of Easter.
5.
The same
Easter a leper came to saint Brigit and as he was covered with leprosy he asked
Brigit for a cow.
6.
Not having
a cow she said to him, ‘Would you like us to pray to God for you to be cured of
your leprosy?’ He replied, ‘That
to me would be the best gift of all’.
7.
Then the
holy virgin blessed water and sprinkled it on the leper’s body and he was
cured.
8.
He gave
thanks to God and stayed with Brigit till his death….

Hello, I am working on a article on Brigid, and I would like to know the source of the imagen on this post. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello, that's from my own collection. It's a print of an illustrated poem 'St Brigid Passes' by Winnifred Letts published by the Cuala Press.
